Today marks the one month anniversary since the start of our trip. It took us exactly 3 weeks to get to Ottawa from Prince Edward Island, 3 weeks for 3 provinces. It will now take us at least a month to cross Ontario. We know many parts will be rough but we are optimistic and... Continue Reading →

Day 22 – D’Oka to Montebello

Day 18 – Nicolet to Massueville
Day 18 - Nicolet to Massueville Today we battled a strong headwind almost all day. It was probably one of the most difficult biking day we've encountered so far (at least to me it was). It was also one of the most uneventful days we've had. We decided to head to Massueville instead of Sorel... Continue Reading →
